Die Vielfalt von Nachhaltigkeit und das Phänomen der Diskrepanz

The book presents the type-definable diversity of sustainable lifestyles and the problem of the discrepancy between sustainability values and realized practices. Methodologically, the ethno-graphic research is based on Grounded Theory according to Anselm Strauss. Anthropocentric and physiocentric approaches from environmental ethics, Max Weber's protestant ethics and Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus serve as a theoretical framework. Besides the empirically founded typology of sustainable lifestyles, the demonstration of the discrepancies between values and realized practices, which exist across all types, can be cited as a central result.
